A good dancer is an educated one, so dont abandon school.

At the moment I'm enjoying a new challenge at the Royal Opera House, but I'm also keen to pursue my interest in television and particularly in science.

Because muscle is heavier than fat, dancers weigh more than you might think, but they are usually very lean.

I do take class because I still dance, and yes, I do slip into class with the Royal Ballet from time to time.

I get to the theatre in plenty of time; I prepare my shoes in advance; I eat and drink the right things at the right time. The rest you have to leave to luck!

I have lots of interests, but it's true that dancing is a very full-time job.

Dancing is a tough career, but I'm glad I spent it at the Royal Ballet.
